I am using Kubuntu Dapper on 2 PCS on my home LAN and have set up Shares
on these two pcs.
I can copy files OK from PC1 ( media server) to PC2 ( client) without
problems via fish:// and Konqueror.
I can copy files from PC2 (Client) to PC1 (media server) /home/bill
without problems.
My problem is that PC1 also has 2 additional hard drives from which I
can copy data, but cannot copy data to.
I have determined that this is due to all directories/files on these
drives being owner/group 502, whereas the drives themselves are
owner/group "bill", the same as PC1 /home/bill and PC2 /home/bill.
I have tried to change permissions on all directories/files to
user/group "bill" using /System Settings/Sharing/File Sharing and using
Midnight Commander ( both as root of course) without success.
These 2 drives were previously in the same PC when I was running Kanotix
( prior to the current Ubuntu based beta) and Shares worked then, though
obviously users/groups were different.
I have cd'd to the drive(s) ie cd /media/sda1, and tried (as sudo) chown
-R bill / and chgrp -R bill / but not all directories/files change owner
and/or group.
Advice please on changing group/user permissions.
Thanks
Bill
